I'd like to pick your brain if you don't mind. You seem pretty knowledgable about the soundset scenario. Originally posted by Alrighter Babber:Hi Swifty, Check the Baldur's Gate forum link for all updates.

#Hq icewind dale portraits update#

I tend to update it every now and then I have an Invoker soundset made from sound files taken from DOTA 2, and I plan to add more in the near future. My pack currently includes voice sets from Diablo I and 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Psychonauts (Raz), Max Payne 3 (Max Payne), American McGee's Alice (Alice), and others.

It's made using a great mod shell found on the forums that anyone can use to make their own soundsets. I've also made several soundsets that are compatible for all the Infinity Engine games (the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series'). It now has over 4000 Icewind Dale EE portraits it it, and is hosted outside the Baldur's Gate forums, so no registration required. It's been a while since I posted here, but I've updated the portrait pack several times since I created this thread. If I do update again, I'll try to remember to update this thread, but go to the Baldur's Gate forum threads mentioned above to be sure as I will always upload my content there first. These will probably be the last updates to the packages for the forseeable future. New links to the portraits and the soundsets.

ĮDIT (March 31, 2016): The IWDEE Portrait Pack now has over 4000 portraits and can be dowloaded from this link: (OUTDATED: SEE BOTTOM OF THIS POST)Īs for the soundsets, I am now using the Awesome Soundset mod to create them.

Recently, I just figured out how to add subtitles to custom dialog for the soundsets, and I even submitted an example: Baldur's Gate's Imoen, with full working subtitles (check out my second post there for the Imoen soundset). I attached some soundsets to that thread, but I believe you have to be a registered user on their forum to download them. I also made a thread detailing how to modify soundsets to make them compatible with Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition, as the naming convention for soundset files are a bit different than they have been with past Infinity Engine games. Just scroll down on the second page to my post and there will be a Zippyshare link to download the custom portrait pack. You can go to that thread and grab the link here. I tried to have a lot of different races and classes, but admittedly a lot of them are fighter-based classes as that's what I usually prefere to make. In the first thread, I spent a few days Google Imaging and eventually made over 300 custom portaits for IWDEE. You will need to manually send these portraits to your friends as IWD2 has no method of transferring them.Over at the Baldur's Gate forums, I posted in a couple of forum threads for custom content I created.

The portrait files must be in BMP format.įor multiplayer, each player must have a copy of the portraits otherwise they will see a blank icon instead of the other player's custom portraits. The names must be 1-7 letters long, maximum - so the filename with the S or L added to the end is no longer than 8 total characters.

To use a custom portrait, place it in the Portraits directory (in the install directory for the game) and add an S to the end of the small portrait name and an L to the end of the large portrait - otherwise the two names must be identical. The measurements for player portraits are 42x42 pixels for the smaller portraits (8-bit color runs faster but it can be up to 24 bit color), and 210x330 pixels for the larger portraits. The portraits need to have specific dimensions and format.
